Okay Apollo,
Here`s what I did on one of mine. I remember gralloching a buck whilst being watched over by my witness on the edge of a plantation. When I got the gralloch out I was suddenly infested with midges around my face
Trying to fend the little blighters off with blood on my hands was bloody horrible as you will realise. To cut back to the chase, I threw the Gralloch under the plantation out of sight of anyone, knowing dam well that Brock and foxy would polish them off within hours. The other two were done in a similar way.

just to go on what PeteE has mentioned
i don't think defra will ever clarify unless outside pressure forces them to as any regulation they endorse will be to unworkable for any stalkers that do not shoot park deer or deer in such numbers that that they need a incinerator of their own as for those stalkers that hav to travel vast distances and and stop at their ground for a few days then they would more than likely to need a second fridge just to store the grallochs in untill they can get to a suitable incineration plant of sorts
just out of interest how much would it cost to incinerate a the unwanted gralloch and other parts ?

now theres good thinking for you all to ponder over, what if there was a joint larder scheme in the midlands maybe around the NEC how many would be interested in that with an registered incineration unit close by ,even could work for those that travel back and forth up the motorway just to drop a beast or two into while on their travels
would be interested in you thoughts

Chaps and chapses, as far as I know (from a reliable source) the official line is 'continue with current best practice'. So if you're burying, burning, or otherwise responsibly disposing then keep on keeping on.
Presumably this is until such time as the verbal spaghettit is untangled.

My reading of the DEFRA link is that in most normal stalking situations outside of a park, shot deer are not covered by the regulations.
I am however very confused as to whether leaving feed out for obviously wild Highland deer in the winter brings them within the definition and also what is meant by "used to produce game trophies" as this is extremely ambiguous.
The use of this wording is very specific and seems intended to differentiate between one dead deer and another. It might mean a dead animal which is going to be mounted for a trophy, it might mean animals raised to be shot as trophies and in both cases, by most definitions, it would mean male deer with large antlers and that makes no sense at all in the context of the issue.
